HALIFAX, CANADA
Collection: SASHA COURT
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a self-taught ceramic artist I am continuously exploring the medium. I’m especially moved by the process of reinventing and modernizing the moon jar form, a fitting allegory for my birthplace, Halifax, which is home to the highest tides in the world. I exclusively hand build my moon jars with stoneware using the coil building technique from the bottom up. I use the voluminous form as a canvas, experimenting with glaze techniques that embrace colour, texture, and the beautiful imperfection of the hand building process, to create one of a kind contemporary artworks.

Sasha Court was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She studied math and engineering at Dalhousie University and spent the last two decades building a corporate career in the tech industry before turning her attention full time to her ceramics practice.
